Chaps. Do you think chopping a 2.2GB AVI movie into 700MB segments and then joining as a later date would degrade the quality in any way? Video bandwidth (DIVX) is 2500k and audio bandwidth 320. Could there be an audio/video alignment problem by the cutting and then re-joining of the AVI file?

I think you can probably figure out from the above how to split into three. Let me know if you have a problem http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Morning tlr,

I had an early night, so missed your post. Looks like you have it sorted anyhow thanks to Aaron and Draco. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I recently purchased a DVD+R drive. It's absolutley wonderful as it has a data capacity of 4.7GB ;) If you are going to be handling large files on a regular basis it could save a lot of time and trouble. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/wave.gif

Companies were developing a blue laser cd burner that could burn 18-20GB on each disk. Anyone know any details?

That was from an article on ExtremeTech back in Oct 2003.

You can find out more information about the "blu-ray" and its awesome storage capacity HERE (http://www.blu-ray.com/).

Better start saving up now! At $3,800 for the player and $30 per disc you better have some precious data to backup :eek:
The price will come down in time. I'll take another look in 2010. http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif
